Oh Catlady - sorry to lower the tone but your last sentence reminded me of this. I think it says it all really.  Feck me..I had forgot about that..he really is to blame for the fact that they will not be regarded as a classic rock band...insecure little fucking show off |

Thank you for the video, CG! It really had it all, and a beautiful guitar as well! As Rick said: Speechless. I have nothing more to add.

Don't want to bag Francis here but lets face it, the yellow suit and music associated with it is Frame's calling. If he really loved rock and roll (the way any of the others do) he would never have taken the Quo name down the path he did. When you see and hear his guitar prowess in 4500 Times at the NEC it makes you sit there in disbelief. At the end of the day the way Quo were and what they became are two very different bands and fronted by a man who simply wanted to be an Everly Brother and took his band down that route as soon as he was able to. |

Playing devils advocate here maybe, but if Francis was making appearances like this on family holiday beaches in Spain with television crews, dressed in a Canary suit, BUT still playing out and out rock boogie as the guitar front man idol of the FF - would there be the same negative reaction to him?
Chances are it would be seen as some one-off tongue in cheek fun.
The problem is that over more and more years, the image of CQ has been promoted based more on the pranks, hi-jinks and karaoke entertainment than it has been on rock music. Hence that leads itself more and more to strong criticism when videos like this featuring one or all the members are posted because they are perceived to be based on some preferred reality than just unwinding away from the real job.
